Every December, I sit down with the women in my mastermind, and we pick our word for the following year.
Before we do that, we reflect back on the word of the previous year and see how it may have inspired our growth and creativity.
My words for 2023 were opportunity and expansion.
Some years, my word never manifests. The obstacles and challenges that I was faced with didn't leave any room to inspire anything because at every corner and turn, there was a roadblock.
But 2023 was different. I started the year determined and ready to create massive shifts. I was no longer going to allow the past failures to define me, and I came into it with a willingness to believe that change would manifest.
In March, I was invited to spend a week with 25 women, most of whom I didn't know. This happened to be the same time as the Spring Equinox. My friend, Nicole, an energy healer and spiritual guru was on that trip. Together, we did an exercise. I truly believe that exercise brought me to where I am today.
There is power in words. Both positive words and negative words and it's important to pay close attention to what you say and how you say it.
This week on the podcast, I didn't have one guest...I had 7. Seven powerful, creative, and brilliant ladies came together to discuss our words of the year. After producing 53 episodes, I have to say this is one of my top three. It represents that when you put a bunch of women in the room, it vibrates.
Here are a few takeaways:
📍Relationships are both learning and teaching moments
📍Persistence propels you to keep moving forward
📍Learning to leave behind what no longer serves you so that you create space for what will
📍Build it (with intention) and they will come
📍EHow future pacing gets you to your next destination
